Urth

Prior to our trip to LA being booked, I'd heard a lot about Urth, an organic coffee company that first opened in West Hollywood back in 1994. Obviously, it's not a new cafe considering it's been up for four years before I was even born, but I think it was around early last year that I first heard of it. To my knowledge, it's become a sort of go-to spot for my peers in the City of Angels, and upon stepping into the cottage-like brick building, I could see why.
It is trendy, but with good reason. I honestly worried, as I stood in line with my mom and aunts, that it was just that: another place that people lined up for because everyone else was doing it, despite the food tasting more like sand than a sandwich. I mean, the interiors were cute, as was the logo, and wow, "it's just so Instagram-worthy!" that maybe everyone else was willing to act like they liked the food just so they wouldn't feel left out of the bandwagon. I didn't quite know what to expect—I'm (unashamedly) more of a fast food girl than an organic one—but I could tell you that I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered their grilled cilantro chicken with pesto sandwich and Caffé Glacé, and I was legitimately this close to ordering a second round. That's how good it was. They've got five branches, which you can see by clicking here, so if you're ever in any of those areas, I highly recommend stopping by, even if it's just for a drink.
